Thinking caps and boxing gloves
So how much is a new idea worth?
I ask that because last night it came up in conversation with a member of the digerati when I asked him if he was going to next Wednesday’s Battle Of Big Thinking.
At the time we were at the Smirnoff Black party at Carriageworks, drinking free cocktails while teetering on tiny catwalks threaded through a cavernous hall, surrounded by people who take far too much pride in their appearance. Fortunately, I like that sort of thing – but I digress.
Anyway, he was questioning the $260 cost of next week’s Battle, which takes place at the very same venue.
Tim,
I’m interested to clarify that when you say you have no commercial interest in the event, that the banner ad at the top of your site plays no role in this editorial coverage?
Not trying to start trouble – just genuinely interested.

Hi Karalee,
Fair question. In fact we’ve donated the ad space because we think it’s a good initiative that we want to see succeed.
Cheers,

Richard gave a presentation at the AIMIA Future of Digital event last Friday, great speaker and interesting ideas around Freemium, bundles and metered models. Would be even more interesting to hear him talk about We Are Hunted.

Great stuff – thanks for clarifying Tim. And well done in supporting the initiative!
Cheers

Whist they were doing it in Melbourne, I’d definitely be there.
Richard spoke at TEDx Brisbane recently too – well worth it
